  • Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)/Electronics Industries Association (EIA) Interim Standard IS-707.5 entitled “Data Service Options for Wideband Spread Spectrum Systems: Packet Data Services,” published February 1998, and herein incorporated by reference, defines requirements for support of packet data transmission capability on TIA/EIA IS-95 wideband spread spectrum systems, of which BS/MSC 106 and IWF 108 may be a part.
  • IS-707.5 also provides the requirements for communication protocols on the links between the TE2 device 102 and the MT2 device 104 (the R m interface), between the MT2 device 104 and the BS/MSC 106 (the U m interface), and between the BS/MSC 106 and the IWF 108 (the L interface).
  • IS-95 is defined in TIA/EIA IS-95, entitled “Mobile Station-Base Station Compatibility Standard for Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System”, published July 1993, herein incorporated by reference.

  • the MT2 device 104 is illustrated as being logically connected to the BS/MSC 106 protocol stack over the U m interface.
  • the BS/MSC 106 protocol stack is, in turn, illustrated as being logically connected to the IWF 108 protocol stack over the L interface.
  • the Point to Point Protocol (PPP R ) protocol 206 encodes packets from the upper layer protocols 202 , 204 and transmits them across the R m interface using the EIA-232 protocol 208 to the EIA-232-compatible port on the MT2 device running the EIA-232 protocol 210 .
  • the EIA-232 protocol 210 on the MT2 device receives the packets and passes them to the PPP R protocol 205 .
  • the PPP R protocol 205 unframes the packets encapsulated in PPP frames and typically, when a data connection is up, passes the packets to PPP U protocol 215 , which frames the packets in PPP frames for transmission to a PPP peer protocol ( 226 ) located in the IWF ( 108 ).
  • the Radio Link Protocol (RLP) 212 and IS-95 protocol 214 are used to transmit the packets, which are encapsulated in PPP frames, to the BS/MSC 106 over the U m interface.
  • the RLP protocol 212 is defined in TIA/EIA IS-707.2, entitled “Data Service Options for Wideband Spread Spectrum Systems: Radio Link Protocol”, February 1998, herein incorporated by reference, and the IS-95 protocol is defined in IS-95 mentioned above.

  • the present invention determines whether selected ones of the PPP LCP link options on the R m interface are identical to corresponding link options on the U m interface. If the selected ones of the PPP LCP link options on the two interfaces are equal, the present invention eliminates unneccessary unframing and reframing of PPP frames in the MT2 device. Thus, PPP frames may be received and transmitted by the MT2 device without unframing PPP frames, i.e., the PPP frames are merely passed through the MT2 device. As a result, the amount of processing required by the MT2 device decreases, thereby providing additional processing capability for greater data throughput.
  • PPP frames are unframed and reframed as performed in prior art systems.
  • PPP frames will be unframed and reframed by the MT2 device, as described above.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a high-level block diagram of a wireless data communication system in which a terminal device connects to a network, such as the Internet, via a wireless communication device;

  • LCP Link Control Protocol
  • the LCP Packets comprise a Configure-Request, a Configure-Ack, a Configure-Nak, and a Configure-Reject.
  • the format of these packets is well known and described in RFC 1661.
  • the Configure-Request packet is used to negotiate configuration options. All configuration options are always negotiated simultaneously.
  • the Configuration-Ack packet is transmitted if every configuration option in a received Configuration-Request packet is recognizable and all values are acceptable.
  • the Configure-Nak packet is sent in response to a Configuration-Request packet when the requested configuration options are recognizable, but some of the values are not acceptable.
  • the Options field of the Configure-Nak packet are filled only with the unacceptable configuration options from the Configure-Request packet. Note that all configuration options are always Nak'd simultaneously.
  • the Configure-Reject packet is sent when a received Configure-Request includes configuration options that are unrecognizable or are not acceptable for negotiation.
  • the options field of the Configure-Reject contains only the unacceptable configuration options from the Configure-Request.
  • the following comprises the well-known configuration options.
  • the first six configuration options are described in RFC 1661, and defined for the PPP LCP protocol, while the seventh configuration option is defined in Request for Comment (RFC) 1662, PPP in HDLC-like Framing, Network Working Group, dated July 1994, herein incorporated by reference:
  • RFC Request for Comment
  • IPCP Internet Protocol Control Protocol
  • RRC Request for Comment
  • IPCP uses the same option negotiation mechanism as the Link Control Protocol (LCP).
  • LCP Link Control Protocol
  • Configuration option negotiations occur separately for both the R m interface and the U m interface.
  • the Configuration-Ack packet contains a list of the options which the sender is acknowledging.
  • the MT2 device monitors received and transmitted Configuration-Ack packets over the R m and U m interfaces and stores the value of each option in a storage device, such as a computer memory. All configuration options have default values, defined by RFC 1661, which are used when the corresponding configuration option is not negotiated.
  • FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of a process for monitoring and storing the negotiated LCP configuration options of the R m interface.
  • the process executes, for example, in software or firmware running on a processor within the MT2 device.
  • step S 300 the stored configuration options for the R m interface, which are saved in a memory device, such as RAM included in the MT2device, are initialized to their default values, as defined by RFC 1661.
  • step S 310 a received or an about-to-be-transmitted frame on the R m interface is checked to determine whether the frame contains an LCP Configuration-Ack packet. If the frame contains an LCP Configuration-Ack packet, step S 320 is performed to save the values of the negotiated options, included in the Configuration-Ack packet, into the memory. Thus, those options successfully negotiated are stored in the memory and those options not negotiated have default settings stored in the memory device. If the received or about-to-be-transmitted packet is not an LCP Configuration-Ack packet, the process ignores the packet and waits for the next received or about-to-be-transmitted PPP frame.
  • FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of a process for monitoring and storing the negotiated LCP configuration options on the U m interface. The process is similar to that shown in FIG. 3, but instead packets received or about-to-be-transmitted over the U m interface are monitored.
  • step S 400 the stored configuration options for the U m interface, which are saved in a memory device, such as RAM included in the MT2device, are initialized to their default values, as defined by RFC 1661.
  • step 410 a received or about-to-be-transmitted frame on the U m interface is checked to determine whether the frame contains an LCP Configuration-Ack packet. If the frame contains an LCP Configuration-Ack packet, step S 420 is performed to save the values of the negotiated options, included in the Configuration-Ack packet, into the memory. Thus, those options successfully negotiated are stored in the memory and those options not negotiated have default settings stored in the memory device. If the frame received or about-to-be-transmitted does not include an LCP Configuration-Ack packet, the process ignores the packet and waits for the next received or about-to-be-transmitted PPP frame.
  • FIG. 5 is a flowchart for a procedure which executes on a processor within the MT2 device.
  • Step S 500 determines whether link establishment is complete on both the U m and R m interfaces. This can be determined by examining a link state variable separately maintained for the PPP R link 205 and the PPP U link 215 . RFC 1661 explains the link states, which are well known in the art, for the PPP link.
  • Step S 500 determines whether the link states of both the PPP R 205 and the PPP U 215 links are in the Network state, indicating that the PPP links are established.
  • step S 510 is performed to determine whether corresponding selected ones of the LCP configuration options are equal on the R m and U m interfaces.
  • the selected options include Protocol-Field-Compression and Address-and-Control-Field Compression.
  • step S 510 may be adjusted to compare any configuration options. If the corresponding selected ones of the LCP configuration options are equal, step S 520 is performed to indicate that the MT2 device is in pseudo network node, otherwise, step S 530 is performed to indicate that the MT2 device is in full network mode.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the processing that is performed in the MT2 device when PPP frames are received on either the R m or the U m interfaces while the PPP link is established, i.e., in the network state.
  • step S 600 a check is performed to determine if the MT2 device is operating in pseudo network mode or full network mode. If the MT2 device is operating in pseudo network mode, step S 610 is performed to determine whether the received PPP frame from either the R m or the U m interfaces includes an LCP or an IPCP packet. If the received PPP frame does not include an LCP or IPCP packet, then step S 620 is executed to pass the packet through the MT2 device without unframing and reframing the packet. In other words, if the received PPP frame arrived on the R m interface, step S 620 causes the PPP frame to be transmitted over the U m interface without unframing the PPP frame and reframing the PPP frame. If the received PPP frame arrived over the U m interface, step S 620 causes the PPP frame to be transmitted over the R m interface without unframing and reframing the PPP frame.
  • step S 600 determines that the MT2 device is not operating in pseudo network mode (i.e., the MT2 device is operating in full network mode), or step S 610 determines that the received PPP frame includes either an LCP packet or an IPCP packet, then unframing and reframing may be performed.
  • the MT2 device when the MT2 device receives a PPP frame on the R m interface and the MT2 is in full network mode or the MT2 device is in pseudo network mode, but either an LCP packet or an IPCP packet is included in the PPP frame, then the frame will be processed by the PPP R protocol 205 , which will unframe the packet and the packet may eventually be passed to the PPP U protocol 215 , where it will be reframed in a PPP frame for transmission over the U m interface.
  • the MT2 device when the MT2 device receives a PPP frame on the U m interface and the MT2 is in full network mode or the MT2 device is in pseudo network mode, but either an LCP packet or an IPCP packet is included in the PPP frame, then the frame will be processed by the PPP U protocol 215 , which will unframe the packet and the packet may be eventually be passed to the PPP R protocol 205 , where it will be reframed in a PPP frame for transmission over the R m interface.
  • the preferred embodiment shows only LCP and IPCP packets being unframed and reframed in pseudo network mode, the invention may be adjusted to cause any particular type of packet or no packet at all to be unframed and reframed in PPP frames while in pseudo network mode.
